A little of everything, including a Seated!

[JeffInMass]

Took a trip to a town about 50 miles from the Cape, to a park I've hunted a couple of times before. Had some decent luck there previously, including a nice seated dime.

As soon as I got started, on the hill near the monument pictured, I began noticing a lot of filled plugs, and they were fairly new. Taking this as a challenge, I worked extra slowly and carefully up and down the hills. First good find was the Indian and Buffalo in the same hole. Not long after, got a nice silver sound, and down about 7 inches was a very worn, but clear date 1878 Seated dime. Added the 29 Mercury not too far away from the Seated. It's in really nice shape, so I added a pic of the reverse.

The last thing was the heart attack for the day when I thought I had a gold pin for sure- gold plated perhaps, but the back just had a couple of spots from where the clasp had broken off, and was certainly not solid gold- oh well.

It was still nice to have that much success dodging someone else's old plugs!

Enjoy the pics and HH all!

Nice score! Congrats!
Well you got the Merc and seated, I got a Rosey a couple years back.
You got just about every kind of coin in the till!

Ya that park has some locals cover it a lot. One lives across the street. I hope the plugs were near.
Pays to go slow.

Things get interesting when they start digging to do renovations!

I have heard jewelry shows up from time to time.

Beautiful sunshine today, a little windy.
You guys on the cape must be gearing up for the summer beach goers.

wow,just a cool day

 

[texjim]

I would be spending more time at that place if i could. Great job

 

[scruggs]

Those are some nice finds you made!!! Hope you find more when you return!!

 

[smokeythecat]

I like old places but have only found 2 buffaloes, 2 seated dimes, 2 Mercs and 4 Indians in my whole life.

Now ask me about 18th century coins and I'd have a tale to tell.

I'd be real happy with that collection of finds. Its always satisfying to find great targets in an area that you know has been worked over recently. Nicely done.

Finding a seated makes the day very special in my book! Congrats!

 

[Msbeepbeep]

Considering this place you did really well!

I ask people in town here if I can hunt there property, and they say, oh we let another guy do it, and he didn't find anything. I ask how many times, and they say, "once". I try not to push it, but I usually say that you have to do it multiple times, and seeing your post makes my mouth water. I will try my hardest to try to hunt there property someday. Finally talked my GF's dad into letting me do his, who also said someone did it once, and didn't find anything, (15 yr.s ago). Will post how I did when I get over there soon.

Nice going! Good looking IHC

Great job buddy. Just shows that you are very good with your machine. Digging up what others missed is a nice accomplishment. I bought a 12x15 SEF coil and have been digging up all the stuff that I missed lol

 

[Ed (Upstate NY)]

Nice finds Jeff. I'll have to get over your way soon.

 

[JeffInMass]

Nice finds Jeff. I'll have to get over your way soon.

Thanks Ed! You let me know when you guys can make it- I can definitely spend a day there 2 weekends from today if you want to hit Lower Seated... Just let me know..

Thanks Ahab! I work really hard at going slow, listening carefully and digging the iffy signals. The nickel/Indian combo was hitting in a very strange place on the SE Pro, but very cool to see those 2 come out together. I thought the Indian might have been a C/N.
